I need some orchid related help.?
Question:I just bought a white Phalaenopsis Orchid. It's in a pot, but there is no dirt instead it is filled with moss. It's actually moist and it looks healthy, but should I move it to a pot with potting dirt? Should I use a special orchid dirt/fertilizer? Where do you usually buy it?
Answers:
Great it is in sphangum mss most likely, No don't use potting soild / dirt it will most likely cause root rot (I just had to learn the hard way) You should find "Orchid Mix" at any nursery store, it is basically a bunch of bark and some carbon or char it is certain barks though, for example you won't normally find much pine bark in it that would be bad so leave it up to the people who have studied all of that and just enjoy
me again, they come from Hawaii and No don't put dirt in it, that will cause it to rot... You can go to the home depot they sell special soil for them and fertilizer, they should be able to tell you how to care for it, cause they sell that type there...I know...
A white phal =D nice! those are really fantasitc.
No,don't move it into dirt.. it would rot.My mom uses fertilizers and flower booster.
She uses Miracle Grow on hers.
We get them from Home depot or a flower gardern shop.
Do not put your orchid potting with dirt. Just add some fertilizer for flower or plants as usual.
